FUDGY COLLAGEN BROWNIES (AIP, PALEO, GLUTEN FREE)

So I guess you could call me a chocolate person. That chocolate person. And definitely not a carob person. I kinda thought carob was gross hippie bullshit. No offense to hippies or bullshit. But I had tried it a couple times on the recommendation of some of my new-age-ier friends and family, and I had proclaimed it with finality to be an inferior chocolate substitute – and all of them to be craze-balls.

These days, I don’t do coffee, chocolate, white sugar, or dairy. But that’s not going to stop me from attempting to recreate all those things in a way that is still actually satisfying. Rich, fudgy brownies were one of the things I missed most when I first eliminated chocolate from my diet. They were so easy and comforting, and I required a replacement. Not for every day, but just occasionally. Or, you know, maybe one whole week out of the month. So the nutrient intake had to outweigh the maple syrup.

So I went back to carob. And now, I’m happy to report, carob and I are best buds. I always have it in the pantry, and now I’m the hippie-craze-balls family/friend telling everyone it really does taste like chocolate. Or, in other words, “you’re doing it wrong!”

And, this recipe took me a while to get exactly right. Fortunately, it’s been pretty dang delicious since my first attempt, so we’ve had no problems at all going through my test batches until it was deemed perfection.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup plantain flour
• 2/3 cup carob powder
• 2 tbsp carob powder
• 7 tbsp collagen peptides
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 small bananas mashed
• 6 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Oil an 8x8 square baking dish (avocado or coconut oil works great).
2. Gently mix dry ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.
3. Add wet ingredients to the bowl, and stir gently to combine and moisten the dry ingredients (this is to keep the carob from flying everywhere in the next step).
